The  band performances at Barnes and Nobles by our Peekskill Woodwind Ensemble and Jazz Band were excellent. One exciting moment was when Justin Hahn did a solo on his trombone with his dad at his side. The woodwind ensemble did an amazing job at the end of their piece with “Finale” by Beethoven and when jazz band played “Thriller, Paulie Beladino’s creative sound effects made the song sound even wilder. To tell you the truth, everyone put on an awesome show at Barnes and Nobles. We had the manager tell us that we were able to be heard from outside and that it had brought many customers in!
